Abnormal taste: In a study by nordin et al in 2004 they found that abnormal smell and/or taste perception was reported by 76% of the pregnant women, typically believed to be caused by their pregnancy. Increased smell sensitivity was found to be very common at the early stage of pregnancy (67% of all pregnant respondents) and occasionally accompanied by qualitative smell distortions (17%) and phantom smells (14%).

Probably: You may find that they will return to normal once your hormones return to the pre=pregnancy levels. If you intend to breast feed this will taketill at least a month or two after you stop breast feeding.
